Refore the sSautre.,

George Wilbur and Arts Seagraves, of
Richmantown, went to Elmer on Tuesday
to see the ''Big Injuns, it being the Red
Mems celebration at that place. Seagraves
was a passenger, Wilbur controlling the
horse and buggy. After the ceremonies of
the day were over Seagraves concluded to
take ride on his own account and started
out with the team without Wilbur's knowl-
edge. His journey was short and ended in
smash up. Later on, Wilbur being ready
to come home could not find his team nor
his partner, but discovered that Seagraves
had taken it. He gave up the search and
came home another way, expecting Sea-
graves would return the team in the morn
ing, but as he did not do so he procured a
warrant for Seagraves' arrest on Wednes-
day on the charge of larceny of the team.
1t appears that Seagraves had started
home with the horse in tho small hours of
Wednesday morning, but being unable to
get along with him turned him into yard
near Daretown and left him. he was held
for appearance at Court.
Samuel Jackson, a colored man frequent
ly seen around town, was arrested early
Monday on a charge of having stolen a
pocket book with sum of money from
Smiths meat market 1t appears that Mr..
Smith, Sr. having occasion to make change
had the pocket book out and left it lying
on the meat table and afterward slipped it
into his coat pocket. Jackson came in and
shortly afterward the money was missed;
Mr.. Smith having taken his coat of and
forgotten that the money was in it, imme-
diately suspected that Jackson had taken
it, and applied for a warrant, procured
constable and had him arrested as he was
saving wood down town. While the
hearing was in progress, MIR. Smith beng
at the meat market and feeling little
| chilly. put on his coat ard running his
hand into the pocket found the book and
money lust where he had put it. lie
FASTENED to the 'Squire's Office and had the
proceedings summarily quashed. How
things were fixed with Jackson we
! haven't heard.

A W. c. T. U. is to be organized at
Pitman Grove.

matter of starting a canning factory at

A sister of Michael Kion, of Sw wedes-
boro, who had purchased some silk of
travelling peddler amounting to SO, gave
him 500 bill to change. The stranger
promised to meet KiIon in Swedesboro and
give him the change, but it is hardly nee
essary to add that he has not done SO.
Mark Adams, of Malaga, who was COM
mitted to the Woodbury. Jail on August %,
may yet have to stand trial for manslaugh-
ter. Adams, it is alleged, kicked and beat
his wife shamefully, and the woman, who
was in a delicate condition, is not expected
to live. The man was drunk at the time,
it is said.

Ine 0louceSter county courts Will De neld.
The indications are that the term will be a
prolonged one. Sheriff Packer has seven
prisoners whose cases will be investigated
by the Grand Jury, and there are other
bail cases which the Grand Jury will also
inquire into. The civil list is arger than
usual.

Immature Grapes.

The New Jersey Horticultural Society
has sent to the Board of Health of New
York letter in which, over the signature
of the officers and executive committee of
the society, it is stated: The 'Ives' grape
will soon be in the market from New Jer-
sey. The grape colors by August 20, but
in the latitude of New Jersey it is not ripe
until September 10. To secure the higher
price of early grapes sundry growers of the
''Ives" mutilate its fruitage canes, thus
causing dropsical development and pre-
mature coloring of the fruit, which is then
hurried to sale as ''choice grapes" Thi S

and damaging to viticulture, is perpetrated

Surprising American wheat, corn,
beef and pork were kept out of
Europe for six months, what would be
the effect? A condition of misery
among the masses that would startle
the world. Yet there are those who
affect to think that some European
power is liable to make war upon us
just for the fun of it. Shut off the
American market for European pro-
ducts for the same time, and the en-
barrassment of the nations are almost
doubled. Yet, by happy combina-
ton of circumstances, this nation will
have enough to eat and to wear if all
Europe should, of sudden, become
a desert. Aud still there are people
who pretend that some European ma
ton IS likely to. destroy its food sup
ply and the best market of1exohange.
The full.grown fact seems never to
occur to some people, end that is that
we are absolutel y necessary to Europe,
while Europe is not thus necessary to
us. ....t

On Saturday, The 18th instant, the
large two-story saloon building OF
Jas. Carroll, at Cnurd' Alene, caught
fire from the explosion OF lamp and
in a very few moments was burned
to the ground. Andrew J. Coffman,
who happened to be in the building
on business at the time, gave US a
very full description of the affair.
Mr.. Carroll, the proprietor, was down
the river couple of miles looking
after affairs at his logging camp AZ
the time and did not get back until
a moment before the building fell In.
Mr.. Coffman says some one above
cried Sire" and few seconds later
a man named Hanes or Harris
jumped out of the window in the up
per story. 1t seems that burning
lamp on table in the hall exploded,
the noise being distinctly heard, and
the hallway was Immediately filled
with smoke. A woman named Lottie
Haines, who was in bed up stairs,
tainted, and Haines or Harris en-
deavored to carry her to the window
in order to let her down, but the
flames and smoke nearly suffocating
him, he was compelled to abandon
the woman, who was burned up, the
charred trunk being found in the ash
es of the building. An old man
known as "Uncle John" dropped
dead from heart disease while en-
deavoring to save his property. Mr..

OF late, several interesting books
of travel have been written about
Mexico. From one recently published,
we make the following interesting
historical extract:
"Since the establishment of her in
dependence in 1921, down to 1884, a
period of sixty-three years, Mexico
has had ffty-6ve presidents, two en-
perors, and one regency; and with
three exceptions, there was violent
change with every new administration.
The year 1S4S is noted in Mexican
annals as the first time when the
presidency was transferred without
violence, but Aristra was deposed
and banished in the next two years,
aud within three months there were
four presidents of the republic. OF
the original and great leaders of the
war Of independence, all were shot.
The same fate befel both of the en-
perors, and also two of the more no.
ted presidents. OF the others, near
10 all at one time or another were for
mally banished, or forced to flee from
the state IN order to escape death or
imprisonment"

1t may be news to some persons
that persistent rubbing with oil night
and morning will remove scars.
Olive oil will answer, but neatsfoot
oil is more rapid in its effects. In
case of burns, when the tendons are
stiff and contracted, rubbing with OIL
will render the part affected almost
as supple as before the injury.
